Skin Rejuvenation

Why Skin Rejuvenation Mostly Happens at Night?

Our Skin is a dynamic organ that changes with seasons and environment. It also exhibits physiological fluctuations from day to night. For example, Sebum excretes the most at midday which the Transe Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) or barrier function is at least. In the evening time skin temperature is at peaks and PH is the lowest and less sebum and losses more water. That’s why some individuals complain of drier, itchy or flare ups skin conditions at night. Therefore, skin repair and cell turnover happens mostly at night the time that body heals itself the most.

Causes of Facial Hair Growth and Acne in Women

In women, every month, until after menopause an egg is released with help from the Luteining follicle hormone and this increases progesterone. Sometimes, however, no egg is released and no progesterone is secreted rather estrogen production increases. As a result of this imbalance the follicles mature into fluid-filled sacs or cysts that grow larger every month until progesterone is released.

Micro-needling Benefits

What is Micro-Needling and its Benefits?

Micro-needling is an innovation in aesthetic medicine for the treatment of wrinkles, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, melasma, periorbital melanosis (darkness around eyes), stretch mark, androgenetic alopecia, and enlarged pores. During this procedure, tiny disposable needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries. The micro-channeling causes the release of growth factors that promote scar-less healing. Normal woven collagen rather than scar collagen is deposited at the treated site. Collagen formation through normal wound healing process (inflammation, proliferation, remodeling) can be seen in 12 weeks. After micro-needling treatment, slight edema (swelling) which resolves in 24 hours and mild erythema (redness) lasting 2-4 days is expected. Usually the number of sessions and the interval between sessions are dependent on the skin condition.

Why do You Need Facial Double Cleanse

As the name suggests, double cleansing is a two step process: first skin is washed with an oil-based cleanser, then with a water- or surfactant-based cleanser. This is the secret to a healthy skin – it easily removes layers of facial built-up make-up, products and oily debris, so that your prescribed Dermalogica moisturizer or booster can penetrate and nourish your skin effectively.

How Laser Skin Rejuvenation Works?

Improving the appearance of aging skin by reducing wrinkles and skin laxity has always been a goal. The method works by using high power microsecond pulses at high repetition rates to safely heat the dermis (deeper layer of skin) activating the body's wound repair response, stimulation of fibroblast activity, and collagen reformation. A unique microsecond non-ablative 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser is a safe treatment method of skin rejuvenation.

Sensitive and Sensitized Skin

A true sensitive skin condition is caused by a genetic predisposition. Someone who is truly sensitive is born with this condition and tends to be prone to blushing, asthma and allergies. This skin is considered more delicate with less melanin or pigment, a thin epidermis and blood vessels close to the skin surface, hence the obvious appearance of redness. Sensitive skin is often the result of a defect in the skin’s protective outer layer – known as the epidermal lipid barrier layer – allowing irritants, microbes and allergens to penetrate the skin and cause adverse reactions. A disturbed epidermal lipid barrier is an important component in several inflammatory skin diseases such as rosacea, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.

How The Hair Growth Cycles Effect Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Hair Growth CyclesThere are three stages of hair growth:Stage 1 – Anagen : This stage is the beginning phase of hair growth. This is when the hair is visible above the skin and is still attached to the papilla. The papilla is a knoblike vascular indentation of the bottom of the hair follicle on which the hair bulb fits. (Definition courtesy of dictionary.com) This hair growth Anagen phase is ideal for laser hair removal because since it is still attached to the papilla the laser can attack the papilla and prevent any new growth. This stage usually lasts for about 2-3 weeks and occurs for both facial and body hair.
